==Geography And Climate==
==Geography And Climate==
In general, Celesterra has four main climate types: warm, moderate, arid, and freezing, all determined by the expanse across latitude, range in altitude, and relief features. Although the most populated areas are generally temperate. Celesterra has an exceptional amount of climate diversity, ranging from temperate in the south to almost polar in the far north. Consequently, there is a wide variety of biomes in the country, including temperate forests, semi-arid and arid regions, temperate plains and Tundras in the north. The average annual precipitation ranges from 150 millimetres (6 in) in the driest parts of Celesterra to over 2,000 millimetres (79 in) in some parts of the country. Mean annual temperatures range from 13°C in the far south to -10 °C in the north.

==Government and politics==
The Celesterran constitution is uncodified and consists of a collection of Statute Laws, International Treaties, Authoritative Works and Conventions. The Void Envoy Holds Soverignity and appoints the executive, he holds all lawmakig powers and devolves some of his powers to the house of dignity to help him make decision. The House Of Dignity is the Judiciary aswell as the Legislative and also contains parts of the Executive, The House Of Dignity is also the highest court of appeal in the Empire, acting as a kind of Supreme Court.

In accordance with the Sovereignty of the Emperor, he has power to make or unmake laws, and to devolve powers or remove devolved powers as he sees fit. All power within the empire comes from the Emperor and can be removed at his will.

The House Of Dignity consists of people appointed by the Emperor and acts as a de facto powerless Legislative branch (aswell as Judiciary). The House debates laws out forward by the Emperor or his cabinet and votes on whether the law should be passed or not. The Emperor can completely ignore the vote or skip this stage altogether, but often listens to the house as they are well educated and experienced individuals who help him in running the country.

There is some devolution of powers in the Empire however, Kings are given powers to make certain laws by the Emperor. For example, a king could decide on speed-limits, or the level of gun restriction in the area. However, these powers are devolved on a case by case basis and some kingdoms have more powers devolved to them than others, leading to kingdoms having their own courts and penal codes.
==Economy ==
==Economy ==
Celesterra is a centrally planned economy, the "Imperial Ministry For Economic Management" (IMEM) is responsible for managing most aspects of the economy, including production, distribution, and consumption. The IMEM determines what goods and services are needed and allocate resources accordingly, setting production targets for different sectors of the economy.
Celesterra has a command economy, with huge amounts of natural resources including gas, oil, iron and many other resources. It has the worlds largest economy by nominal GDP and largest by PPP. The Services sector accounts for 30% of the total economy, with the agricultural sector making up another 25% and industrial sector making up 45% of the economy. Celesterra has a low unemployment rate of about 5% and has a labour force of about 518 million.
To achieve these production targets, the IMEM sometimes establishes state-owned enterprises and provides them with the necessary resources to produce the goods and services required by the population. But, more often than not relies on privately owned enterprises who are instructed how to run by IMEM for the reason of allowing for some competition to force companies to innovate or face the government contracting another company for the supply . The IMEM also sets prices for goods and services, aiming to ensure that they are affordable for the population.
 
Celesterra is fairly self sufficient and does not require much engagement in international trade, however the government still often purchases from and sells to abroad to maintain positive relations abroad as well as to diversify the options consumers have when deciding on what to purchase. However, foreign companies often appear more expensive because of the regulation of the price of homemade goods often meaning foreign companies struggle to gain footholds in Celesterra, not only this but foreign companies can only sell goods in Celesterra if the government has permitted them to do so to make sure that the country does not have too much of certain things.
 
The IMEM has established a comprehensive system of resource allocation, which involves identifying the country's resources and determining how they can be used most effectively. This involves prioritizing certain industries over others and allocating resources to those industries accordingly, aswell as allocating money to the state owned side of things.
All businesses are 100% government owned so profits that would have gone to shareholders go to the government. However, businesses (aside from a few exceptions) run similarly to private enterprises. Companies can be created by anyone which then places them as the CEO and allows them to pay themselves as they see fit provided their pay package is approved by the government. This allows competition between businesses, differentiation in prices, differentiation in workers pay and etc to be decided by the market all whilst allowing the government to step in at any point aswell as allowing the government to take more of a piece of the pie to place back into public services and generating more revenue through business.  
The IMEM also manages the distribution of goods and services to ensure that they are available to all members of the population. This involves establishing a comprehensive distribution network, such as some state-owned stores or asking private companies to distribute to certain areas as part of their contracts, to ensure that goods are available to all.
To allow for efficient and effective distribution, IMEM has many different branches who do many different things, all while working closely with one and other to try and achieve the most optimal economy.
Celesterra has limited welfare systems to protect those who are able to work but are temporarily unemployed aswell as supporting those who have children and do work but don’t earn enough to support themselves and their family.
==Infrastructure==
==Infrastructure==
Transportation infrastructure is critical for connecting different parts of the country, facilitating the movement of goods and people, and enabling trade. Motorways and roads are essential for transportation of goods and people within the country, and the government often ensures that they are well-maintained and well-connected. Railways are also essential for transporting heavy goods and raw materials across long distances aswell as to allow workers to commute, and the government is investing in high-speed rail to improve transport efficiency. As of right now Celesterra contains one of the largest railway networks in Saurth. Air transport is necessary to connect the country's major cities and remote areas and is fairly extensive in celesterra.
 
Communication infrastructure is also critical for coordinating production and distribution across the country. The government is investing in fiber-optic networks and satellite communication systems to provide high-speed internet and improve connectivity across the country to improve the logistics that are so vital with a centrally planned economy. Telephone lines and radio networks are extensive and also very important for communication between different regions of the country.
Energy infrastructure is a key area of investment, the country generates enough power to support the needs of its large population and industries. The government invests in a range of energy sources, including fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas, as well as renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric power. Nuclear power is also be a viable option which is increasing in its use and replacing some other forms of energy.
Water supply infrastructure is also essential in Celesterra. The government ensures that there is enough water supply to meet the needs of the population and industries, particularly in areas where water scarcity is a concern. Large-scale water storage and distribution systems, such as dams and reservoirs are extensive to supply the large population.
In addition to these key areas of investment, the government also invests in other types of infrastructure, such as healthcare facilities, schools, and housing. These investments are critical for ensuring that the working population is healthy, educated, and well-housed. The government does this by providing free education up to the age of 16, with higher education being mostly limited to the upper classes by price. Healthcare is also free for children under the age of 16 and the working population, to ensure that the population is well cared for and able to work which reduces the amount of sick days. Housing is free for working age people who are temporarily unemployed, those with children are prioritised. However, if people are able to work and don't without a valid reason then all of these things are denied to them and they are branded "lazy" and refused help, also if you are older or disabled the state sees you as useless and doesn’t bother to invest into keeping you alive.

History

Culture

Gender Tradition

Celesterra is built upon a patriarchal society where men hold much more power than women. This can be seen in lower levels of society as mostly men go to work while women stay home and watch over children and look after the house. Not only this, but women are not allowed to enter the military and some police forces. In the middle classes women also take on this same role. However, in the upper classes, women are used as bargaining chips for alliances between kingdoms within Celesterra and sometimes even outside of Celesterra. It is also tradition that a man and woman must be bound together in marriage before the void before having children, in the lower classes this is mostly ignored, in middle classes those who ignore this are shunned and in the upper classes you absolutely must be married to have children. Although that is not to say that you must be celibate before marriage, you just must not have children. Marriage is an unequal partnership and allows the man in the relationship to take control. Divorce is allowed but is mostly frowned upon as monogamy is encouraged.

Although the most populated areas are generally temperate. Celesterra has an exceptional amount of climate diversity, ranging from temperate in the south to almost polar in the far north. Consequently, there is a wide variety of biomes in the country, including temperate forests, semi-arid and arid regions, temperate plains and Tundras in the north. The average annual precipitation ranges from 150 millimetres (6 in) in the driest parts of Celesterra to over 2,000 millimetres (79 in) in some parts of the country. Mean annual temperatures range from 13°C in the far south to -10 °C in the north.

Government and politics

The Celesterran constitution is uncodified and consists of a collection of Statute Laws, International Treaties, Authoritative Works and Conventions. The Void Envoy Holds Soverignity and appoints the executive, he holds all lawmaking powers and devolves some of his powers to the house of dignity to help him make decision. The House Of Dignity is the Judiciary aswell as the Legislative and also contains parts of the Executive, The House Of Dignity is also the highest court of appeal in the Empire, acting as a kind of Supreme Court. In accordance with the Sovereignty of the Emperor, he has power to make or unmake laws, and to devolve powers or remove devolved powers as he sees fit. All power within the empire comes from the Emperor and can be removed at his will. The House Of Dignity consists of people appointed by the Emperor and acts as a de facto powerless Legislative branch (aswell as Judiciary). The House debates laws out forward by the Emperor or his cabinet and votes on whether the law should be passed or not. The Emperor can completely ignore the vote or skip this stage altogether, but often listens to the house as they are well educated and experienced individuals who help him in running the country.

Economy

Celesterra has a command economy, with huge amounts of natural resources including gas, oil, iron and many other resources. It has the worlds largest economy by nominal GDP and largest by PPP. The Services sector accounts for 30% of the total economy, with the agricultural sector making up another 25% and industrial sector making up 45% of the economy. Celesterra has a low unemployment rate of about 5% and has a labour force of about 518 million.


All businesses are 100% government owned so profits that would have gone to shareholders go to the government. However, businesses (aside from a few exceptions) run similarly to private enterprises. Companies can be created by anyone which then places them as the CEO and allows them to pay themselves as they see fit provided their pay package is approved by the government. This allows competition between businesses, differentiation in prices, differentiation in workers pay and etc to be decided by the market all whilst allowing the government to step in at any point aswell as allowing the government to take more of a piece of the pie to place back into public services and generating more revenue through business.
